After I decided to serve some sweet chili sauce with my Thai style corn fritters I checked my fridge and found that I was running low on it. I was just about to add it to my grocery list when I though, I wonder if I could make this at home? A quick search of the web turned up this recipe for a sweet chilli sauce that I found on She Simmers . I certainly am glad that I took the time to look up the recipe and make it myself! Not only was it super easy to make but it was much better than any store bought variety that I have ever tried. The recipe is pretty simple with what you would expect to find in it including some chilies, garlic, sugar, vinegar and a bit of corn starch to thicken it up. I could not find either the red jalapeños or the red serrano chilies so I went with some long pointed hot red chilies that I could find and a few birds eye chilies to ensure that the heat level was up there. I also left the seed in for the extra heat and visual appearance. You should tailor the variety of chili and number based on your tolerance for heat, or your addiction to it. :)
